Lost Hollywood ReviewMaybe there is an updated edition with corrections, but why would any publishing house put out a book this riddled with errors in the first place?
David Wallace is in trouble even before the first chapter of "Lost Hollywood." The photo caption on a picture opposite chapter one is full of mistakes. I'm not sure that's ZaSu Pitts, and I question whether the photo is from "A Little Princess"--a movie in which Pitts played the downtrodden Becky, and this pic shows her in a cute pantaloon outfit with a parasol. At any rate, that movie was not directed by Mack Sennett, as the caption states (it was directed by Marshall Neilan) and although ZaSu P. was in "A Little Princess," it was not her first picture and, in fact, "A Little Princess" starred Mary Pickford. Pitts was always a character actress and never a film heroine as Wallace claims; and "Greed" was directed by Erich von Stroheim, not DW Griffith as Wallace would have us think. And this is just a photo caption! What a way to kick off a book.
For someone who lives in Los Angeles, Wallace also has a shaky grasp on LA geography. The city of San Pedro is described as Hollywood's "neighbor"--it must have taken hours to get from one town to the other in the silent era and it is not much better now. The Edendale studios were in Silverlake, not in Glendale (we're on page 6 at this point).
Does this guy not imagine that there are scores of people who know enough about Hollywood history to be apalled by the lack of easy research? This is a sloppy and innacurate piece of work and there is no excuse for it.Lost Hollywood Overview
